Abstract

A method for time-of-flight sensing is provided. The method includes for at least one pixel position performing at least one continuous wave measurement to obtain at least one first measurement value for the pixel position. Further, the method includes performing at least one coded modulation measurement to obtain at least one second measurement value for the pixel position. The method additionally includes determining an estimate of a distance value of the pixel position based on the at least one first measurement value and the at least one second measurement value using a mapping function.
